1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has emerged as a promising tool for non-invasive vascular imaging in dermatology. However, the field lacks standardized methods for processing and analyzing these complex images, as well as sufficient annotated datasets for developing automated analysis tools. We present DERMA-OCTA, the first open-access dermatological OCTA dataset, comprising 330 volumetric scans from 74 subjects with various skin conditions. The dataset contains the original 2D and 3D OCTA acquisitions, as well as versions processed with five different preprocessing methods, and the reference 2D and 3D segmentations. For each version, segmentation labels are provided, generated using the U-Net architecture as 2D and 3D segmentation approaches. By providing high-resolution, annotated OCTA data across a range of skin pathologies, this dataset offers a valuable resource for training deep learning models, benchmarking segmentation algorithms, and facilitating research into non-invasive skin imaging. The DERMA-OCTA dataset is freely downloadable.
